Running Example Sample Clauses

Running Example. In the rest of the paper, we will illustrate our logic and results based on a contract commonly used in the literature, that of a plane boarding system, based on e.g. [Azzopardi et al., 2014]. In this section we present this use case — an agreement between the passenger and airline company, regulating the plane boarding process, from check-in till the flight, includ- ing time constraints. The use case is a simplified ver- sion based on the Madrid Xxxxxxx airport regulations. 1. The passenger is permitted to use the check-in desk within two hours before the plane takes off (t0). 2. At the check-in desk, the passenger is obliged to present her boarding pass whitin 5 minutes. 3. After presenting the boarding pass, the passenger must show her passport, she has 5 minutes for this purpose.

Running Example. ‌ This section introduces a running example to have a consistent scenario to relate the sources to. The example chosen for this is the import and export of goods through a port. Specifically as seen through the viewpoint of a container terminal. First of is the import scenario, which is illustrated in Figure 3.1. In this case, the following service is provided: a full container will be transported from the port it arrives in to a location of the customer, where it can be unloaded. The empty container will then be transported to a depot, where its carrier can reuse it. In this process, the following steps are taken: (1) The service provider receives an order for the service, including required documents (2) The service provider receives a notice of the estimated time of arrival (3) The service provider plans the transports for the provided service (4) The ship carrying the container arrives at the port and is unloaded (5) The service provider receives documentation for the release of the container (6) A barge is used to transport the container from the port to the container terminal, where the container is weighed (7) A truck is used to transport the container to the customer’s location (8) The container is unloaded (9) The truck returns the empty container to the container terminal (10) The empty container is transported to a depot via barge The export scenario is quite similar and provides the following service, as illustrated in Figure 3.2: an empty container is transported to the customer’s

Running Example. The example in Figure 4.3a is described by a random-walk Markov model in Figure 4.2 (left) where each state denotes a location on the map, if the true state at timestamp t is s1, then sxt = s1 =[1 0 0 0 0 0], pt =[1 0 0 0 0 0]. Measurement Query. At each timestamp, a measurement query f : S → Rd about current state is evaluated. We denote the space containing all possible outputs of f by measurement space. Example 4.2 (Measurement Query). Let f : S → R2 be two quantities about f1 : temperatue of current state – fl f2 : noise level of current state Then f can be expressed as f(s) = corresponds the answer of a state, e.g. f(s1) = [1, 0]|, f(s2) = [2, 1]|. Above answer can be denoted in measurement space, as in Figure 4.2 (right).
